New Urbanism advocates "the restructuring of public policy and development
practices to support the following principles: neighborhoods should
be diverse in use and population; communities should be designed for
the pedestrian and transit as well as the car; cities and towns should
be shaped by physically defined and universally accessible public spaces
and community institutions; urban places should be framed by
architecture and landscape design that celebrate local history, climate,
ecology, and building practice." -Charter of the New Urbanism
